  • Traditional Healer Captures ‘Demons’, Ends Family’s Seven Years Of Misery Plagued By Mysterious Fires

    Traditional Healer Captures ‘Demons’, Ends Family’s Seven Years Of Misery Plagued By Mysterious Fires

    A traditional healer claims he has brought the misery of a family plagued by mysterious fires over the last few years to an end, with the capture of two types of demons which bothered the family.

    Sinar Harian Online quoted Saad Jaafar, 44, saying that he has caught the demons through procedures he carried out on the family in Kampung Penambang Bunga Emas, Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

    “The first type of demon originated from the foundation of this house and it admitted to torching the house, as it liked to play with fire.

    “The second type of demon was passed down for generations in the victim’s family. It admitted to cutting the victims’ clothes and stealing their money. These are the beings which caused the family so much misery,” he was quoted as saying.

    The family has been plagued by mysterious fires that broke out within hours of each other, without explanation, since 2012. One such incident saw the family home razed to the ground.

    One of the family members, Wan Nur Fatihah Wan Hanafi, 19, lamented being stressed over the treatment she received from her neighbours over the incidents.

    “Wherever I go, people are afraid that a fire will break out. Since the family home burnt down, some were reluctant to give us a house to rent as they thought the demons would follow us.

    “I have done everything possible (to keep the demons away) and so far, the fires have only been plaguing me and my family and no one else, so please don’t be afraid of me or it will complicate things further,” she was quoted as saying.

    She also claimed that there have been no major incidents in the household since the “cleansing” process was carried out three days ago.

    “I hope nothing will catch fire after this as I would hate to see it happen again,” she said.

  • Sultan Johor: Such Practices Will Result In Suspicion Among Non-Muslims, Wrongly Portray Muslim Life As Extreme, Intolerant And Unjust

    Sultan Johor: Such Practices Will Result In Suspicion Among Non-Muslims, Wrongly Portray Muslim Life As Extreme, Intolerant And Unjust

    Discriminating against non-Muslims on the pretext of religion will ultimately be detrimental to all Malaysians, Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar explained on Saturday (Oct 14).

    In his speech during the convocation of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia on Saturday, he expanded on his decision to order a laundry in Muar to discontinue its Muslim-only policy.

    Sultan Ibrahim said such practices would not only result in suspicion among non-Muslims, these would also wrongly portray Muslim life as extreme, intolerant and unjust.

    Citing currency notes as an example, he said money was handled by all manner of society, including those who would clearly be considered ritually unclean in Islam.

    “The same money may have been touched by pork butchers, bartenders and may even have come into contact with heavy filth.

    “Must the government then come up with Muslim-friendly notes? Think for yourselves, ladies and gentlemen,” he said.

    Sultan Ibrahim previously ordered the laundry in Muar to stop the discriminatory practice, saying Johor was not a Taliban state and that the laundry operator was free to move to Afghanistan if he disagreed.

    Preacher Zamihan Mat Zin later criticised “a sultan” over the matter, resulting in his arrest for sedition.

    Mr Zamihan later denied that he was referring to Sultan Ibrahim, but the Johor ruler called the preacher a “liar” on Saturday for the attempted denial.

    Sultan Ibrahim also directed the Johor Islamic Religious Department to cease all dealings with the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) that employs Zamihan.

    Dato’ Jalaluddin Hassan Bakal Bernikah Dengan Seorang Ibu Tunggal Anak Empat

    Pelakon popular, Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan, merancang untuk menikahi seorang ibu tunggal selepas genap setahun pemergian isterinya, Datin Hasimah Mat Ehsan.

    Hasimah meninggal dunia pada 5 November tahun lalu akibat komplikasi pembedahan jantung di Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PPUKM), di sini.

    Jalaluddin, 63, mengaku beliau kini berkawan dengan wanita empat anak berkenaan, yang dikenali menerusi laman sosial sejak Ramadan lalu.

    “Kami berkenalan menerusi Facebook dan kali pertama saya menegurnya adalah pada Ramadan lalu apabila mengucapkan selamat berpuasa kepadanya.

    “Hanya pada Aidilfitri baru kami ada peluang bertemu, pada sebuah acara rumah terbuka. Tak sangka, dia adalah adik kepada kawan saya,” katanya kepada BH Online ketika ditemui pada majlis sidang media Teater Bahara Emas di Auditorium Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, di sini hari ini.

    Teater terbitan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) itu bakal dipentaskan pada 19 hingga 22 Oktober ini.

    Jalaluddin berkata, jiwa kental yang ada pada wanita yang hanya dikenali sebagai YR itu membuatkan hatinya terpikat, sekali gus mahu menjadikannya sebagai teman hidup.

    “Saya kagum dengan semangatnya membesarkan anak-anak, selain menjaga ibunya yang kurang sihat,” katanya.

    Sementara itu, bercerita mengenai keadaan kesihatannya, pelakon berpengalaman yang juga seorang pengacara itu memberitahu, beliau kini semakin pulih.

    “Bagaimanapun, saya kena lakukan fisioterapi sebab kaki masih lemah dan saya juga perlu menjaga makan,” kata Jalaluddin lagi.

    Pada 2 Oktober lalu, Jalaluddin dilaporkan pengsan selepas menjadi tamu program bual bicara siaran TV AlHijrah, Assalamualaikum.

  • Kes Anak Dirantai Pada Tong Gas Sebab Tidak Mahu Ke Sekolah; Bapanya Merupakan Seorang Anggota Tentera

    Kes Anak Dirantai Pada Tong Gas Sebab Tidak Mahu Ke Sekolah; Bapanya Merupakan Seorang Anggota Tentera

    Hanya kerana anaknya tidak mahu ke sekolah, seorang bapa bertindak kejam hingga sanggup mengikat kanak-kanak berusia 10 tahun itu pada tong gas, dengan menggunakan rantai, di sebuah rumah di Indera Mahkota, di sini, semalam.

    Tindakan tidak berperikemanusiaan lelaki terbabit terbongkar selepas sepasukan anggota polis dari Bahagian Siasatan Jenayah Ibu pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Kuantan melakukan pemeriksaan di rumah tersebut selepas menerima maklumat kira-kira pukul 10 pagi.

    Ekoran pemeriksaan yang dilakukan pasukan polis berjaya menyelamat mangsa serta menahan lelaki terbabit yang merupakan anggota tentera di Kem Batu 10, Jalan Gambang di sini bersama isterinya.

    Difahamkan, mangsa merupakan anak ketiga daripada lima beradik.

    Menurut Ketua Polis Daerah Kuantan Asisten Komisioner Abdul Aziz Salleh, ketika pemeriksaan, pihaknya cuba mengetuk pintu hadapan rumah itu namun tiada jawapan sebelum polis membuat pemeriksaan di tingkap belakang rumah.

    “Hasil pemeriksaan dilakukan polis menemukan seorang kanak-kanak hanya memakai seluar berada dalam keadaan leher diikat pada tong gas dengan menggunakan rantai selain berkunci,” katanya ketika dihubungi Astro AWANI di sini hari ini.

    Tambah Abdul Aziz, polis terpaksa memecah masuk ke dalam rumah itu dan cuba mengejutkan mangsa namun kanak-kanak terbabit tidak sedarkan diri kerana pengsan.

    Ujar beliau, pihaknya kemudian meminta bantuan Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA) Kuantan bagi membuat rawatan kepada mangsa.

    “Siasatan awal mendapati, mangsa baru sehari iaitu kelmarin tidak ke sekolah menyebabkan bapanya bertindak di luar dugaan,” katanya.

    Beliau berkata, bapa kanak-kanak itu ditahan reman selama seminggu bermula hari ini di Lokap Balai Polis Kuantan manakala ibunya yang berusia 30 tahun ditahan bagi membantu siasatan mengikut Seksyen 31 (1) (a) Akta Kanak-kanak (Pindaan) 2016.

  • 3 Guests Received Outpatient Treatment After Port Dickson Hotel’s Partial Roof Collapse Due To A Blast

    3 Guests Received Outpatient Treatment After Port Dickson Hotel’s Partial Roof Collapse Due To A Blast

    Three people escaped serious injury when the roof and wall of their hotel room partially collapsed on them.

    The victims — believed to be a couple, aged 51 and 52, and a 27-year-old man — were rushed to the Port Dickson Hospital by staff from the Avillion Hotel and received outpatient treatment.

    State Fire and Rescue Department head Norazam Khamis said his team was still investigating the cause of the 4am incident.

    “We have instructed the hotel management to temporarily close the affected building until our investigations are complete,” he said, adding that only one room on the 7th floor of the hotel on Jalan Pantai was affected.

    Norazam said a preliminary probe revealed that the boiler system on the rooftop, which provided heated water to the rooms in the block, may have exploded and caused the partial collapse of the structure.

    In a statement, a hotel spokesman said that it regretted the incident.

    “Our guests’ safety is our utmost priority and the family of three who sustained minor injuries has received outpatient treatment at the Port Dickson Hospital.

    “They are now back at the resort to rest and resort staff are at hand to provide them with full support,” he said.

    The spokesman added that the Fire and Rescue Department had declared the first three floors of the affected block – comprising meeting and conference rooms – as safe, the management decided to shut down the entire block, which has about 30 rooms.

    Affected guests have also been moved to a different block.

    “We are working closely with authorities and our in-house structural engineers will be joining in the investigation,” he added.
